Posted on July 22, 2014 by Brenden Conway

Choosing a Child Custody Lawyer

As difficult a situation as divorce is, it becomes even more complicated when there are children involved. Often times, one of both parents will attempt to use their children as leverage, both in and out of court. Because of the emotional and psychological toll a child custody case can take on a person, it’s important to choose an attorney with extensive experience.

First Steps

Your first step should be to talk to friends or family members who have been through a similar situation. You can gain a personal insight from their experience. When you do find an attorney and are considering his or her services, do your research. Find out where that child custody attorney went to school, how long they have practiced child custody law in Dallas, TX, and what his or her strategy will be for your case.

The more questions you ask, the more comfortable you will be. With the high stakes of any child custody case, it’s important to trust your attorney.
